Are we ever going to write a story together?

I think it would look good at the end if we had a page where it went

BASED ON A TRUE STORY
FROM POKEDREAM FORUMS

Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."

how about, instead of talking about new stories, you tell me who it was that killed celery

doesn't matter now that my masterpiece no longer exists

i remember i started a spin-off story that was going to be a goodfellas/godfather type thing about the rise of the spamito family

then i realised it was a terrible idea

and i mean a proper story guys where we each write one chapter! most of us are pretty good at writing and we could all edit it via google docs or something

You know... I think a shared universe anthology would actually be a good start. Instead of trying to get chapters in the same story coordinated, we think up a particular setting/event and everyone basically do a short story happening there. They can be linked/play off each other without having to be directly related. That would account for the various writing styles of the contributors and keep the work from having too much jarring change.

well would we be able to make up the parameters of the world as we went along. i really didn't like those massive background things you and keke used to do, just because i like a world that gets explained as part of the short stories themselves. that's what a macguffin is for... have some kind of crisis just so you get the opportunity of describing some totally radical fantasy world

no, fuck the concept of a big fantastical universe. it'll be like the series of unfortunate events where the era is unclear because of the abundance of different types of old and new technologies being used. the stories focus on the people, not the world which they inhibit
